Upon check-out, you will be asked to provide your Fall University housing assignment. If you are unsure of this information at the time of ordering, please enter a “?” in the designated field. Rest assured, students do not need to be present for the delivery of this unit. We strive to deliver before student move-in, utilizing the assistance of University staff. Should the equipment not be in your room upon your move-in, please allow 7-10 business days after the main student move-in period concludes.
Pick-up Process:
The procedures will be sent to both the student’s email and the billing email provided during checkout. Should the student decide to leave the University before the conclusion of the academic school year, it is essential for them to inform us. This will allow us to arrange for the unit to be returned or to facilitate a transfer of responsibility to their roommate, thereby alleviating any potential liability.
